      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 1:105/420 779cd0ed       TZUTC: -0700       so i chose fidonet for this post on purpose. :P i wanted it go get out to as       many nix users as possible, with a broad reach that will get to bbs users       beyond my inner-circle... i've been having a great time learning linux from       scratch. believe it or not, i've installed lfs several times; sometimes       because - broken, but once i got the hang of it, and learned the underlying       skills needed to create successful systems, it was more about trying all the       flavors of lfs available.              i ended up liking lfs_sd [linux from scratch systemd] and blfs [beyond linux       from scratch]. i'm getting consistent builds and even use alfs [automated       linux from scratch] which uses scripting to streamline the build process - anf       then you just edit the handful of 'variable' files it builds.. hostname,       hosts, resolve.conf and network settings files... fstab and things like that.       blah.              i've got a pretty solid system now, with a good kernel build, that has       networking - both eth and wifi!!! i've built several after-lfs packages like       cmatrix, openssh, nano and m0re.              are there other lfs users in the bbs-land? do you run on actual hardware -       this is what i find most useful... if you have a thinkpad thats a bit long in       the tooth, its a great platform.               what do you like to install on? i prefer live-linunx usb's; endevourOS,       knoppix or even tails... i like to install lfs to a separate HDD as doing so       with the donor and lfs on one drive is - ugly.              lemme know if you've been counted on lfs. lemme know if you've built anything       - well not even cool, but... useful? no... lemme know, tho. :P                            |07p|15AULIE|1142|07o       |08.........              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 (Linux/64)        * Origin: 2o fOr beeRS bbS>>20ForBeers.com:1337 (1:105/420)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/7 10 11 44 81 85 420 500 106/201       SEEN-BY: 114/709 123/131 129/305 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 452 470 550 616 664 700       SEEN-BY: 266/512 282/1038 291/111 292/854 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 5075/35       PATH: 105/420 81 229/426           |
